   Bob,

   Sorry I missed this event but as you know the weather was to bad for an old guy like me to be out.
   I will try to make some later events.

   Tom,

   No worries. The weather affected it for everyone. We had a few people show up early, but a lot of people who planned on attending didn’t make it.

   You have to figure that the one time we get early snow in these parts, it affects something that we want to do, lol.

   I live in the area, but didn’t hear about this in time (I just found this site the other day). I am very happy to find a local pipe club, and hope to make the future meetings.

   We haven’t really hashed out any future meetings yet.The event was hampered by the snow that day, and not too many people showed up.

   Maybe you and I can get together for a smoke one day.

   I wanted to make it to the first meeting, but couldn’t get there- I’m down in Solomons, but would like to make it up for the next get together- Is there one planned?

   I am not sure if there is another gathering planned or not. I don’t think that there is. I was helping the owner of the B&M to try and get a pipe club started, but I have not heard anything from him in awhile.

   I’m not too sure if he is still trying or not. If anyone is interested they can call his shop and ask if they are going to have any gatherings or not.
